Why Maat Wellness

Advanced study guided by lived practice.

Ja Cole is an E-RYT 500, YACEP, and lead trainer with more than fifteen years of teaching experience and years of mentoring yoga teachers. His work joins technical teaching skill with philosophy, nervous-system awareness, cultural relevance, leadership, and practical tools for modern life. This training is designed to lead you through blind spots to break-throughs, discover purpose and conscious intention, and share your vision with clarity, authenticity, and skill.

What does Decolonized Yoga mean here?

It means studying yoga with respect for its roots while asking who has been centered, excluded, or misrepresented. You will examine history and power, teach without cultural flattening, adapt practice to the communities you actually serve, and connect personal liberation with ethical responsibility.

Student Experience

Mentorship that changes how you teach.

Special gratitude for my 120-hour mentorship with Ja, where I was guided through the art of teaching, philosophy, and supporting aging bodies. Each module challenged me to grow in ways I never imagined.

Before you enroll

Yes. This advanced program is designed for graduates of a 200-hour yoga teacher training.

What if I need financial flexibility?

You can request the standard payment plan, ask about a sponsor-payment link, or explain a hardship or special-discount request during enrollment. Requests requiring review are not automatically approved.
